This fully carved model has the sound and construction of a higher price instrument. It is aimed at those students or professional musicians looking for a good sounding bass of a great construction.

This model is taken from an instrument built in Vienna, 1890, by Wilhem Thomas Hjaura. It is a classic Vienesse model with gamba corners and sloping shoulders for an easier play of the high register.
